Wanted to watch it for 2 main reasons:
-
I enjoyed the first season and wanted to see if second season was as good tdlr: it is
-
The fact there was articles coming out Wednesday/Thursdays about him being investigated for the Markle article made me suspicious they might be trying to start a boycott like Hogwarts Legacy. Wanted to see if there's any reason the left might not want the public to watch it.
Spolier if you want to watch it first from here, skip to the tldr as last line:
It's as funny, informative and interesting as the first season but HEAVILY showed how government interference has brankrupted farmers and is strangling farmers attempts to diversify their income.
The EU essentially had subsidised farmers heavily, with Brexit happening that ends in the UK. Not just that but the EU farmers still have the subsidiary so they can lower the cost of their produce like pigs and undercut UK farmers in price.
The government has been wishy-washy on cowering this (as who cares about food security when Ukraine needs to be funded) so farmers need to look to other methods to balance the books as supermarkets undercut them so Clarkson decides to make a restaurant to sell his and other farmers produce there at a better rate.
The council doesn't just refuses planning permission on his land, but then start pulling every restriction they can to hurt him (even putting cones all along a country road outside his shop). He gets round this with loopholes by using an old barn instead for his restaurant and building it 2 days after they tell the council about it.
He also illustrates the horrible handling of TB with badgers and Cows and of the amount of redtape that holds farmers back.
TLDR: Season 2 illustrates the inadequacies, inefficiencies and pettiness of government that stops farmers earning a livable income from their produce alone including stopping diversification efforts. Not good having this widely viewed if you're trying to take farmer's land from them...
What ranches offer beef online? The few I've seen are eastern coastal elites who've bought ranches out west and now charge conservative retards 3 times what my already expensive grocery store sells it at. They like to advertise on talking retards who also advertise gold and buckets of powdered slop.
It may be more local, two of the local ranches I know of offered online ordering and delivery. But 1) being local ranches it is unlikely they would advertise outside of the region, and 2) both sold more high-end meat (one specializing in Waygu, and the other in Bison).
I know the ads you are talking about though and always thought they sounded sketchy to me as well.
Omaha Steaks is better priced, and their prices are fucking nuts. Those companies also say 'grassfed' and that meat stinks of shit and tastes like it too. I've had grassfed hamburger and steaks, different companies, different parts of the country, both taste like cow shit.
Its the Amos miller case now in court that will decide that. Robert Barnes is suing the FED.
Honestly, you're just gonna have to go to local farmers, and buy a meat fridge.
I have a meat freezer. My grocery chain is good at only buying quality meats from here in the U.S., hence their outrageous prices. But, if I could get some good beef at a similar price, delivered, I would. The local producers are all tied to national food chains. It's Florida, local producers who offer things are almost exclusively vegetable farmers.
Now see, that is what I am getting at. Kansas is the 3rd largest producer of meat in the country, so it makes sense that I have lots of local options for meat. Its if I want fish that I have to start getting unusual. IE: I get US caught/farmed Salmon, and that cost a pretty penny while beef and pork are generally dirt cheap in comparison.
We don't have cheap either of those options. Florida is the plantation of the country. Almost everything we produce is sold before it's even sewn in the fields or harvested from the waters.
